Description
Thursday, April 3 with Stephen Lyn Bales, 7pm EDT on ZOOM: Our hummingbirds are returning. There are over 330 hummingbird species, but they are only found in the New World. They may be small, but they are fierce and colorful. These vibrant flower-loving pixies occur in a wider range of colors than all other bird species combined. Purple, yellow, green, crimson, blue, like the colors of a rainbow. Wow! The wintertime Rufous Hummingbird is even bathed in UT Vols Orange. Yet, the Ruby-throated is our most familiar summertime hummer.
Join the UT Arboretum Society as Michelle Campanis, education coordinator at the University of Tennessee Arboretum, and naturalist/author Stephen Lyn Bales give us an overview of our beloved hummingbirds. This colorful First Thursday Nature Supper Club presentation is hosted by the UT Arboretum Society. Watch the virtual presentation from the comfort of your own home and learn when our hummingbirds will be back in your yard. You do not even have to put on your shoes and leave home!
